The state of Iowa has codified in its laws numerous acts that have been deemed criminal in nature. Committing a criminal act or otherwise breaking a law that is included in the state's code can result in an individual facing a number of significant penalties. Those penalties, which can include but are not limited to heavy fines and periods of incarceration, can impose significant setbacks in the lives of individuals forced to endure them.
Every individual who is charged with a crime under Iowa law, though, has rights. Individuals facing criminal charges may prepare their own defenses to present when tried for their alleged crimes. They may also utilize the services of criminal defense attorneys during the preparation and trial phases of their criminal matters.
